great news....he IS talking about both sides of Gore from James to Catharine.
Buses would still be allowed, which is fabulous. I assume they would re-route buses off the south leg of Gore and put them all on the north side.
This would speed up buses, create a great pedestrian environment and allow new businesses to open up there with patio/sidewalk space. Currently there is no street parking on King from John to James so businesses won't have to worry about losing car-driving customers.
In fact, they would stand to gain customers via enhanced transit and a new destination downtown right out their storefront.
Catharine would need to be made 2-way to allow people to jump up to Cannon or down to Hunter.
Email your councillor.....let's not let another great idea die deep inside the bowels of city hall (the Eaton Centre now)
